### 5/5 — Wow this is so intuitive

*2025-10-06*

Learn about history of film if you love film photography. The quizzes are the best haha .

### 5/5 — Simple, but informative

*2024-12-27*

This app took different concepts like camera types, film development and camera settings and made them totally relatable. I learned and better understood all about film photography. The quizzes were helpful to hammer home the concept.

### 5/5 — Отлично

*2022-08-22*

Очень интересное приложение, 30 минут и я начал разбираться в ранее замудрённых для меня словечках
Присутствуют тесты для закрепления полученных знаний
Приятное видеосопровождение  
Присутствует минус–часто пару букв не помещались на экран во время объяснения элементов 
Я забрал приложение бесплатно 
от этого самый кайф)

### 4/5 — Для новичков пойдёт

*2022-02-11*

Ожидала увидеть перечень моделей фотоаппаратов и плёнок, немного огорчена.
Базовая информация, для новичков самое то, но на мой уровень уже маловато.
Здорово что есть карта магазинов и лабов, но многих не хватает(по Москве и Питеру) 
В разделе плёнок добавила бы ещё APS формат, почему про неё постоянно все забывают, была ж такая)

### 5/5 — 极其喜欢的一款入门应用

*2022-01-29*

设计真的是很棒！

### 5/5 — これは良いハウツー

*2021-05-21*

フィルムカメラの基礎をフローチャート形式で学べます。
日本語翻訳でおかしな点は、私が見た範囲では見つからず、操作も直感的で、ストレスフリーに使えます。

暇な時にぼんやり眺めるのも良いですが、
実際の動画が見られるので、初心者でもフィルムの現像まで出来るかもしれません。
機材の値段もドル表示ですが記されています。
フォントもキャプションのつけ方も、かなり見やすいですし、久々に良いアプリでした。

それに開発チームの仲が凄く良さそうで、つい応援したくなりレビューしました。
そこも含めて良いアプリです。

### 5/5 — 很精致的app

*2021-05-21*

喜欢，除了摄影的知识，app本身就做的漂亮，使用起来很享受

### 5/5 — 非常喜歡💕

*2021-05-13, version 1.4.2*

內容淺顯易懂！

### 5/5 — 有關底片相機的百科全書

*2020-10-26, version 1.4.1*

很適合拿來認識底片相機
內容淺顯易懂，動畫互動性佳。
缺點是商品市價是以eBay上國外的售價資訊，而不是台灣國內售價資訊（多為二手商品）

### 1/5 — Нечестное приложение

*2020-06-11*

Просто собрана в кучу информация, которую и так легко  взять открытых источников. При этом намеренно размещено среди приложений-экспонометров, хотя таковым не является. Ни стоит ни одного потраченного рубля - выброшенные деньги.
